Asset Reliability Engineer, Precision Maintenance Systems

Job Description

Job DescriptionA day in the life

You start by walking the line with the maintenance team, reinforcing the ATS safety culture and confirming regulatory and policy compliance. A bottleneck shows up in production; you partner with internal and external customer stakeholders to design an engineered fix that boosts throughput without sacrificing reliability. In a reliability strategy session, you review Work Execution Management (WEM) gaps, mentor techs on improvements, and schedule a Root Cause session on a recurring bad actor. After lunch, you refine an Equipment-Specific Maintenance Plan (ESMP) rooted in Reliability-Centered Maintenance principles, then build the ROI case for a targeted capital replacement. You close the day by aligning ATS and customer KPIs with leadership and by updating precision maintenance actions based on predictive insights.

How you’ll make an impact

• Champion a precision reliability culture while rigorously promoting and adhering to ATS safety practices.
• Ensure compliance with applicable regulations and ATS policies and procedures.
• Partner with customer teams to craft engineered solutions that elevate reliability and throughput.
• Spot capital investment opportunities for equipment replacement and clearly communicate ROI.
• Embed operating systems, critical elements, and best practices to drive precision maintenance.
• Apply precision tools and techniques confidently in daily work.
• Own RCM deliverables including development and optimization of ESMPs.
• Collaborate with maintenance on predictive, preventive, and precision strategies that identify and mitigate risk before failure and enable optimal work execution.
• Conduct and facilitate FMEA to prevent recurrence and improve design and maintenance tactics.
• Use advanced WEM knowledge to coach and train, closing gaps revealed during reliability sessions.
• Lead and teach ATS Root Cause, Bad Actor elimination, and Fault Tree Analysis.
• Align ATS and customer KPIs with site leadership to sustain results.

What you bring

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering (ABET-accredited) or equivalent heavy industrial maintenance, reliability, or operations experience.
• At least five years in a reliability-focused role.
• Proven capability with the full suite of reliability toolsets.
• Hands-on experience executing Root Cause Analysis.
• Demonstrated success with RCM and FMEA.
• Master-level proficiency in predictive technologies.
• Vibration I Certification and Infrared I Certification.
• Strong proficiency in machine health monitoring.
• Coaching experience and practical application of Work Execution Management.
• Deep technical grasp of electrical or mechanical components, tooling, and design.
• Ability to deliver FMEA, cause-and-effect diagrams, root cause failure analysis, life-cycle costing, and risk analysis.
• Curiosity to research and apply emerging equipment technologies and trends.
• Robust problem-solving, mathematics, analytical, and decision-making strengths.
• Computer fluency including maintenance systems and Microsoft Office.
• Clear verbal communication, facilitation, and presentation abilities.
• Strong reporting and technical writing skills.
• Relationship builder with a professional, collaborative approach.
• Demonstrated leadership, including cross-functional collaboration.

Bonus points

• Desire to grow into leadership.
• Experience with data trend analysis; vibration analysis; motor current analysis; oil analysis; lubrication and hydraulic testing; laser alignment; nondestructive testing; infrared thermography; ultrasound technology; acoustic reliability technology; Weibull analysis; and Six Sigma or Lean Manufacturing.
• Working knowledge of cGMP, NETA, EPA, and OSHA.
• Ultrasound I Certification; Maintenance Lubrication Analyst I Certification.
• CMRP/ARP/CRP/CRL credentials.
• Green Belt certification.
• STS certification.
